Shan Ling's eyes looked at the blood sprayed on the carriage, and then at the cold long knife in his hand, with an expression of disbelief.
"Why?" Shan Ling turned around. He knew that it was very naive to ask such a question, because the sword tip exposed from his chest and the blood dripping from the sword tip had already told him an indisputable fact.
But…
He asked the question anyway.
Because he really couldn't figure out the reason for all this, and the most important thing was that this was still the Southern Territory. How dare they dare in the Southern Territory!
"Your Majesty, can't you understand the reason for this?" Prince Lin Tianrong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the expression on Shan Ling's face with interest.
He liked that look.
Because this expression represents an unwillingness to believe, and the more unwilling the other person's face is to believe, the more successful his plan will be.
Shan Ling looked at Prince Lin Tianrong.
Looking at that soft and innocent face, he had never been so angry for a moment, even when he was threatened by Fang Zhengzheng in the Canghai Realm.
"Why? Don't you want him to die? That's impossible. I know you want him to die too, and I'm pretty sure you will want him to die!" Shan Ling's face turned red.
He was really convinced that Prince Lin Tianrong wanted Fang Zhengzheng to die.
As the old saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. When the interests are the same, cooperation can be achieved perfectly.
Because of this, he would trust Prince Lin Tianrong.
But…
What he couldn't understand was why Prince Lin Tianrong went to rescue Fang Zhengzheng and stabbed him in the back when he was killing Fang Zhengzheng.
Reason, he needed a reason.
"The Crown Prince is right. Of course I want Fang Zhengzheng to die, but I also want you to die!" Prince Lin Tianrong smiled so coldly that his body shook a little. At the same time, his His hand also jerked back.
The sword was drawn out.
Blood splattered again.
And eight diners in robes also arrived in front of Prince Lin Tianrong in an instant. The cold wind blew by, and the robes fluttered slightly.
"Want me to die?" Shan Ling's body trembled slightly, the blood in his chest continued to flow, and his tiger eyes stared at the prince Lin Tianrong closely.
"Actually, there is another sentence in the story just now, that is... when Fang Zhengzheng held the prince hostage, the prince died unfortunately!" Prince Lin Tianrong explained calmly.
"Haha, just based on a useless person? Do you think my father would believe it?" Blood spilled from the corner of Shan Ling's mouth, and his expression was extremely cold.
"Does it matter whether you believe it or not? What's important is that Fang Zhengzheng is dead and the prince is also dead. Then, this prince has the final say in everything. Isn't that true?" Prince Lin Tianrong also sneered.
Shan Ling was silent.
Because, as Prince Lin Tianrong said, dead people cannot speak, so only the living have the right to speak in all processes.
even though…
The King of the Southern Territory doesn't believe it, but so what
Start a war against Daxia
To denounce Daxia, do you want Daxia to hand over the murderer and the current crown prince
Totally impossible!
"Give me a reason to kill me!" Shan Ling didn't argue with the issue anymore. His eyes were a little red because he really didn't want to die like this.
"If you don't die, the battle in the Southern Region will not end!" Prince Lin Tianrong continued.
"That's it." When Shan Ling heard this, the trembling of his body finally stopped. It was a kind of silence, a kind of silence in the face of life and death.
He got it.
Just now, he had sent a word to Fang Zhengzheng.
That word is...
greedy!
And now, Prince Lin Tianrong has sent this word back to himself.
Covet the throne and die!
How ridiculous.
This seems to be a kind of irony. When you feel that others are too greedy, in fact, it also indicates that your own greed is even greater.
I have to say that this satire is very straightforward.
However, he had to admit that what Prince Lin Tianrong said was true. As long as he did not die, the Southern Territory would never be able to make Daxia feel at ease.
Shan Ling didn't ask any more questions.
Because, his eyes had turned from Prince Lin Tianrong to Su Qing, who had been standing beside Prince Lin Tianrong. At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that Master Su had already thought of today's situation when he came to see me that day. Well, it is indeed a good plan!" Shan Ling smiled.
Of course he knew who was behind all these plans.
It was Su Qing.
He persuaded Shan Ling to believe in the purpose of Prince Lin Tianrong, and also allowed Shan Ling to embark on the journey to Yanjing City.
"Your Majesty, that's your reward!" Su Qing responded quickly, then bowed respectfully to the Crown Prince, and at the same time, his body stepped back sharply.
"boom!"
A crack appeared under Su Qing's foot. It felt as if it had been cut directly by a knife. It looked extremely flat and smooth.
This scene was very sudden.
However, Su Qing still got out of the way.
"The Crown Prince is indeed the Crown Prince. He was so seriously injured and yet he was able to strike so quickly. I admire him, I admire him!" Su Qing looked at the crack under his feet and involuntarily took a few steps back again.
"Solve it within one stick of incense!" Prince Lin Tianrong also glanced at the crack on the ground, his expression turned slightly cold, and he moved the blood-stained sword in his hand slightly and said to the eight disciples standing in front of him.
"Yes!" The eight diners nodded at the same time.
"I didn't expect Master Su to have such skills as a civil servant? Haha... It is said that the Great Xia Dynasty is full of talents. Today, I will take a look at the disciples raised by the Prince's Mansion to see how strong they are!" Shan Ling also smiled at the corner of his mouth, and with At this time, a chill also rose from his body.
It was a chill that erupted from within.
When the chill rose, the blood in Shan Ling's chest also solidified, becoming crystal clear and transparent, like ruby.
"kill!"
"Suffer death!"
“…”
Several loud shouts sounded.
The eight disciples finally moved, and eight figures flashed past, like ghosts in the darkness. In just a moment, they arrived in front of Shan Ling.
Shan Ling also moved.
With a slash of the long knife in his hand, the coldness raged and he advanced instead of retreating, mingling with the eight disciples.
The sword flashed.
A heart-shaking chill covered the air, the grass had been dyed silvery white by frost, and the trees were covered with strings of ice.
In just a moment, the eight disciples were more or less injured. One of the disciples' arm had even been cut off completely. The blood was flying in the air, but it solidified in an instant.
The strength in the late stage of reincarnation realm.
Even if a sword pierced his chest, his fighting power was still astonishing.
This is Shan Ling, the strongest among the young generation in the Southern Territory.
However, this battle did not last long, because the eight disciples' tactics were not a conservative siege, but an exchange of injuries for injuries, and death for blood!
Broken branches and broken leaves were mixed with blood and frost, and cracks covered the ground. This was a battlefield, a messy battlefield.
And after a stick of incense...
The battle is over.
Shan Ling's body was leaning on the carriage, and the knife in his hand had broken. His eyes were slightly raised, looking at the stars that were slowly appearing in the sky.
He was unwilling to give in. From designing to get the crown prince's position, to cooperating with the demons, and then conspiring with the prince, all the plans seemed so perfect.
But except for the plan to get the crown prince, the other two plans ended in failure. He thought he was smart enough, but in fact...
In this world, who dares to say that he is the smartest
The young master of the demon clan, Yun Qingwu? Or Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzheng? Or is it the Su Qing who has been standing behind the prince in front of him
Shan Ling didn't want to die like this.
However, there was not much panic or fear on his face, but a kind of indifference, even though he was unwilling to die.
But when death came, he was not afraid. He just looked at the sky quietly, just looking like that, letting the blood dye the soles of his feet red...
"Congratulations to His Majesty the Crown Prince!" Su Qing finally spoke again at this time, and while speaking, he knelt down on the ground.
"Oh? Mr. Su expressed his congratulations to this prince. I wonder why he is so happy?" Prince Lin Tianrong glanced at Shan Ling with some disdain on his face.
As the dignified prince of Daxia.
He has always been aloof.
But when he arrived in the Southern Territory, he had to endure Shan Ling's temper, which in itself was a kind of hatred, and when this kind of hatred could be combined with the stability of the country.
How could he not want to do it
"From an outsider's point of view, Shan Ling was indeed killed by Fang Zhengzheng. However, with the wisdom of the Holy One, how could he not guess the reason? Today, His Highness the Crown Prince put himself in danger to put an end to the rebellion in the Southern Territory for Great Xia. Gen, how can the Holy One not reward you for your contribution to peace and stability?" Su Qing immediately explained.
"Reward? How do you think your father will reward you?" Prince Lin Tianrong nodded and continued to ask.
"Fang Zhengzheng is dead. The merits of the Southern Territory are those without an owner. Although His Highness the Crown Prince killed Shan Ling, stabilized the Southern Territory, and contributed to the peace and stability of the country, this contribution cannot be clearly rewarded, so..."
"So what?"
"The merits of the Southern Region are the best reward!"
"Hahaha... Well said, very well said!" Prince Lin Tianrong also laughed when he heard this.
At that time, when he was in the Tieqiu tribe, Su Qing suggested to him that he could take all the credit for Fang Zhengzheng's achievements, but he didn't quite believe it.
But…
When Su Qing told her the plan, he believed it.
How can a dead person take credit
"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position in the East Palace, coupled with the tremendous achievements in the Southern Territory, the subjects of Daxia will definitely return home. From now on, Prince Duan will no longer be a threat to the Crown Prince!" Su Qing looked at Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Ruoyouruowu smiled and continued.
"No more threats? That's not necessarily true." Prince Lin Tianrong narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince think that given the current situation, it is possible for Prince Duan to stand up?" Su Qing asked doubtfully.
"Over in the capital, I naturally don't need to worry. Moreover, after this battle in the southern region, I have also established my influence in the military sect. If my sixth brother wants to fight with me in the court, I will naturally not do it. It's very possible, but the sixth brother's power is not entirely that of the imperial court!"
"His Royal Highness, are you referring to the Five Prefectures of the Northern Desert?" When Su Qing heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he probed carefully.
"That's right, the five mansions in this desert have always been under the control of Shenhou Mansion, and Chihou of Shenhou Mansion has been very close to my sixth brother over the years. To put it bluntly, without Shenhou Mansion, With the support of the Houfu, it is impossible for me, the sixth brother, to control the huge military sect alone!"
"What do you mean, His Royal Highness?"
"With your current status, if you enter the Ministry of Rites and be promoted to the Minister of Rites in a year, it will be a natural progression. But if Mr. Su is also placed in the capital, it would be... a bit unfair!"
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to arrange for me to go to the Shenhou Mansion?"
"Shenhou Mansion? You can't enter, but you can compete for the position of governor of the five northern desert mansions! I wonder what Mr. Su wants?" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at Su Qing.
"Governor of the Five Prefectures?! This... Thank you for the promotion by His Highness the Crown Prince!" When Su Qing heard this, his whole body trembled, and then, there was an unconcealable joy on his face.
"Haha... You don't have to thank me so early. It's not easy to be the Governor of the Five Prefectures in the Northern Desert. What I want to say is that Mr. Su can consider becoming the previous head of the Prefecture first."
"Everything is subject to the arrangements of His Highness the Crown Prince!" Su Qing nodded.
…
The night wind is getting colder.
Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the carriage again. He did not look at Shan Ling, who was leaning on the carriage and dying, but at the slightly blown curtains on the carriage.
Because there is still one most important thing that has not been done in this plan.
That is…
There is one person alive.
Even though this person is already dead.
"The perfect plan, if it comes true, His Highness the Crown Prince's status in Daxia will indeed be unshakable." At this moment, Shan Ling's voice also sounded.
Prince Lin Tianrong ignored Shan Ling and didn't even look at Shan Ling. How could he look at a loser
"Your Highness, can Fang Zhengzheng be handed over to the minister?" Of course Su Qing could see what Prince Lin Tianrong was thinking. He said such words not to grab credit.
But to vent your anger!
"Okay." Prince Lin Tianrong nodded.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Qing immediately stood up from the ground, then gently patted the dirt on his trousers, and slowly walked towards the carriage.
He's not very fast.
Because everything is under his control.
So…
Why not enjoy the results
Close, close!
When Su Qing got closer and closer to the carriage, he could even hear the breathing in his chest, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was a strong chill on his face.
"Don't worry, I will make you die in pain!" Su Qing laughed, his body shaking with laughter, and at the same time, his hand also opened the curtain on the carriage.
For a moment…
The smile on his face solidified.
"Actually, I haven't finished a sentence just now. Any perfect plan will have accidents, right? Your Highness, Mr. Su!" Shan Ling's voice sounded again. (To be continued.)
